More photos


I like the sense of humor of whoever set this one up. Up close, you could see this picture was cut out of a magazine and hastily stuffed into the frame with a little bird looking up at him.

LuxeHome inspires me to buy things I have no means to afford






I went to the Wine Spectator LuxeHome event last night at the Merch Mart. On top of ridiculously good food from Chi restaurants (faves were Prosecco, SweetToad and Brasseri Jo) and great wine from all over the world, there was room after room of incredible home designs. As an avid tile and chandelier lover, I was a happy camper wandering for 2+ hours. I'm sure the 19 wines I sampled had no bearing on that.

Shit, I'll swap clients

Disappointed I never saw this in my time at Bondi Beach



It's for the new Flip.

Michael Scott must have finally landed his millions

Totally Bulls 80s!



Kirk Hinrich has clearly done this before...

B is the new C


This guy chose all C's on a Communications 101 exam hoping to luck out. Here is his professor's response:

Dear Michael,

Every year I attempt to boost my students' final grades by giving them this relatively simple exam consisting of only 100 True/False questions from 3 chapters of material. For the past 20 years I have taught Intro Communications 101 at this institution I have never once seen someone score below a 65 on this exam. Consequently, your score of 0 is the first in history and ultimately brought the entire class average down 8 points.

There were two possible answer choices: (A) True and (B) False. You chose C on all questions in an obvious attempt to get lucky with at least a quarter of the answers. It's as if you didn't look at a single question. Unfortunately, this brings your final grade in this class to failing. See you next year!

May God have mercy on your soul.

Sincerely,
Professor William Turner

P.S. If all else fails, go with B from now on. B is the new C.

Classic. I especially love the Billy Madison references - both direct (May God have mercy on your soul) and indirect (You brought the class average down 8 pts = everyone in this room is now dumber after having heard your answer).
